If you already have credentials for my other programs, those apply to this program as well. Otherwise, send me a private message if you're willing to help me test this, and I'll send you credentials. Thanks.
That's one of the neatest simple tools that I'm surprised I haven't seen yet. I wanted something like this way back when I was in art school. Very cool.
I want to try this out!.. maybe I will be able to tomorrow before work.
This seems amazingly powerful for simple 3D models. Any chance of an OS X version?
@Toshiko: When I realized I would be doing the same general process for making/remaking the model over and over again even with minor changes to then base image, I knew I had to write something to address it.
@lijj: I look forward to seeing what you do with it. The training map thread (http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=10846.msg205067#msg205067) has some more pictures of the process/an explanation of hue's involvement.
@Cheetah: Not in the foreseeable future. If you mean a native application for OSX, I don't have anything to develop it against. I'd be programming blind. If you don't mean a native application, there's a possibility that the Mono (http://www.mono-project.com/download/) project will run it (though it will of course look out of place, and I think it's also limited by processor/OS architecture).
Thanks!

Program now supports objects in holes more intuitively (i.e. treats the object as though it were connected).
I like what I see lol!
